Today, we’re going to take a deep dive into the world of HBO movies and TV shows. From the iconic dramas like The Sopranos and Game of Thrones to the latest releases, HBO has been providing quality content to its viewers for decades. But have you ever wondered how they make decisions about what shows to produce or which movies to acquire? That’s where the fascinating world of HBO data comes into play. By analyzing audience trends, ratings, and viewer demographics, HBO can make informed decisions about what to offer to its loyal fans. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and get ready to explore the exciting world of HBO data.

The data we’ve decided to work on is from kaggle, owned by Diego Enrique and here’s the link https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/dgoenrique/hbo-max-movies-and-tv-shows

Firstly let’s see how many movies and TV shows we are dealing with

##    type    n
## 1 MOVIE 2408
## 2  SHOW  622

Wow! that’s a lot more movies than shows! But let’s see it in a graph

And what’s the distribution of genres do we have from both?

Looks like the type of genres are hard to read. Let’s flip our coordinates

Here are the number of shows available in Netflix as a function of time¶

You can see there is a wide range of movies and tv shows, especially what year they were released. I wonder what the newest and oldest movies are?

##                     title  type release_year     genres
## 1 The Prince of Magicians MOVIE         1901 ['comedy']

## 1 ['drama', 'action', 'horror', 'scifi', 'thriller']

I definitely have not seen either of those movies, but everyone should know last of us because of tiktok.

Now I am wondering what is the longest movie?

##                          title  type runtime release_year genres

Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
